Overnight on April 28, the Ukrainian Armed Forces launched a massive missile strike with Tochka-U ballistic missiles and high-powered multiple rocket launchers on residential areas in the central part of the city of Kherson in southern Ukraine. The target of the missile attack on Kherson was residential areas around Ushakov Avenue, where kindergartens, schools and many social institutions are also located.
The city as well as the rest of Kherson Region are under control of Russian forces.
Russian air defense units repelled the Ukrainian missile attack. Twelve shells of a high-powered multiple launch rocket system were shot downas well as two Tochka-U ballistic missiles were intercepted in the air over the city. Fragments of one of the downed Ukrainian Tochka-U missiles fell in Shevchenko Park.
Meanwhile, Russian air defense forces also repelled an attack by a Ukrainian Tochka-U ballistic missile on residential areas of the city of Izyum, Kharkiv Region. The target of the strike was the city hospital, where the Russian medical detachment is located. This facility provides assistance to the population of Kharkiv Region.
“The Kyiv nationalist regime’s indiscriminate missile strikes on the residential areas of Izyum and Kherson are a war crime and a flagrant violation of international humanitarian law,” the Russian Defense Ministry said in a statement.
Indiscriminate artillery and missiles strikes aimed at residential areas are not something new for the Kyiv government. Nonetheless, the recent developments demonstrate that Kyiv’s forces are trigger happy to shell residential areas not only in the region of Donbass.
